Newark City Schools news

It's been a long winter already with delays and cancelations. Make sure that you are getting contacted the best way for you.

If your family has recently changed phone numbers, and you haven't contacted your child's school, please update your number now.

As soon as we make the decision to delay or cancel school due to the weather, the information is posted within minutes on Twitter, Facebook, our district website at newarcityschools.org and is pushed out through the district Apple and Android app. Find us on Twitter by searching @Newark_Schools, and on Facebook under "Newark City Schools."

A phone call is also sent out through Blackboard Connect. Newark City Schools has the capability to send out a phone call, email and text message with each call.

If you would like to add additional means of contact in case of delay, visit: newarkcsd.bbcportal.com/Entry. From there, you must know your student's six-digit ID and a phone number associated with your student.

If you have any questions on setting up your Blackboard Connect portal, contact Community Outreach Coordinator Seth Roy at sroy@laca.org or 740-670-7020.
